[00:09] Dale
    Latina is too cute,
     and it's making me not want to go to work.
[00:13] Rita
    More stupidity, huh?
[00:15] Dale
    This time I have to go all the way
     to the capital in Ausblick!
[00:18] Dale
    I don't get to see Latina. Instead, I have
    to deal with a bunch of scheming old geezers.
[00:22] Dale
    How is that supposed
    to make me feel better?!
[00:25] Dale
    Don't wanna go!
[00:32] Dale
    I understand. It's work.
[00:34] Dale
    And if I think about
     how Latina will be waiting...
[00:37] Dale
    Plus, she's made some friends,
[00:38] ---
    so she'll at least be occupied
     while I'm gone.
[00:41] Dale
    Which is why I understand...
[00:43] Dale
    But I still don't wanna, okay?!
[00:47] Rita
    In that case, think of it as a chance
    to buy her a souvenir she'd like.
[00:52] Dale
    A souvenir?
[00:53] Dale
    A souvenir, huh...
[00:54] Rita
    Since you're heading to the royal capital,
    some rare candy should probably do it.
[01:01] (Flashback) Latina
    Thank you!
[01:02] (Flashback) Latina
    Dale, I love you!
[01:07] Dale
    I might be able to do this, after all.
[01:10] Rita
    Well. That's nice. I guess.
SIGN    The Young Man Heads Out.
[02:55] Dale
    You don't need to get up
    if you're tired, okay?
[03:04] Dale
    I'm sorry, Latina.
[03:05] Dale
    I'm going to be gone for a little while.
[03:07] ---
    Can you hang in there?
[03:11] Latina
    I can hang in there.
[03:19] Dale
    I'll be sure to bring you back some presents!
[03:22] Latina
    Okay.
[03:24] Dale
    Take good care of her for me.
[03:26] Rita
    Of course.
[03:27] Ken
    Don't do anything crazy out there.
[03:29] Dale
    Not with Latina waiting for me!
[03:33] Dale
    Okay, I'm heading out.
[03:34] Latina
    Okay.
[03:35] Latina
    Have a safe trip, Dale.
[03:38] Latina
    Be careful at work.
[03:44] Latina
    I think I can do this, after all.
[03:48] Driver
    Titi, today we're flying
     an adventurer to the capital.
[03:54] Driver
    I hear he's a hard guy to deal with, though.
[03:59] Driver
    There he is, Titi!
[04:10] Driver
    I've here to receive you
     on the orders of Duke Eldstedt!
[04:15] Dale
    I'm Dale Reki. I appreciate the ride.
[04:21] Driver
    W-Well...
[04:23] Dale
    Go ahead.
[04:24] Driver
    Let's fly, Titi.
[04:40] Driver
    I heard the guy who used to have this job
    got demoted after getting on the guy's nerves.
[04:44] Dale
    What should the present be, though?
[04:47] Dale
    I have no clue what a girl would want.
[04:51] Dale
    I guess it's gotta be sweets
    or something, right?
[04:55] Driver
    This is terrifying!
[04:57] Driver
    I should try and cheer him up if I can.
[05:01] Driver
    Um... Would you like some?
[05:08] Dale
    Candy?
[05:11] Driver
    I just remembered.
[05:13] Driver
    I think the old flightmaster got
    on his nerves by treating him like a child!
[05:17] Driver
    I never should've offered candy
    to someone like that!
[05:20] Dale
    I guess I've never bought
    her candy before, have I?
[05:25] Dale
    The idea of her cheeks
    being stuffed with it...
[05:29] Dale
    And these are a pretty color,
    so I bet she'd like that, too.
[05:37] Driver
    I'm doomed!
[05:44] Driver
    W-We've arrived at your destination, sir.
[05:49] Driver
    Uh, was there...
[05:51] Dale
    Where do they sell these?
[06:15] Retainer
    Lord Gregor is waiting for you, sir.
[06:20] Gregor
    There you are.
[06:21] Dale
    It's been a while, Gregor.
[06:23] Dale
    Could you introduce me to your fiancée?
[06:27] Gregor
    Very well, Dale.
[06:29] ---
    May I kill you now?
[06:32] Dale
    Surly as ever, huh?
[06:36] Gregor
    First of all, Rose is not my fiancée.
[06:40] Gregor
    A gift? You just arrived,
     and you're already getting ready to leave?
[06:45] Dale
    I'm trying to find something
    a little girl would like.
[06:49] Dale
    And if I know you,
[06:51] ---
    you don't know anyone
     who'd have a clue about stuff like that,
[06:54] Dale
    other than your fiancée.
[06:57] Gregor
    All right. Stay right there.
    I'll try to make this quick.
[07:02] Gregor
    Wait... What little girl?
[07:04] Dale
    My kid.
[07:07] Dale
    She's just the sweetest thing,
     and so, so cute!
[07:11] Dale
    Not to mention, so brave!
[07:14] Dale
    When she waved at me with that
    tiny hand and said, "Be careful"...
[07:17] Dale
    Just the thought... makes me wanna cry!
[07:23] Dale
    I wanna go home.
[07:26] Dale
    Yeah. Let's do that.
[07:28] Dale
    Hey, Gregor! Let's move out, like, now!
[07:31] Dale
    The faster we wipe these guys out,
    the sooner I can leave, right?
[07:35] Gregor
    What in the world happened to you?
[07:40] Gregor
    You've adopted a devil child
     with a broken horn?
[07:45] Dale
    That she's a devil shouldn't be a problem,
[07:48] ---
    if it's me she's living with.
[07:50] Gregor
    No, that wouldn't be the problem. Although...
[07:56] Gregor
    The fact that you are killing
    members of her race,
[07:59] ---
    from time to time, could become one.
[08:02] Dale
    I'll kill humans, too, if that's the job.
[08:07] Gregor
    I'm relieved to hear that.
[08:09] Gregor
    We've located the servants
    of the Seventh Demon Lord,
[08:13] Dale
    Demons? Or just some minions?
[08:16] Gregor
    It's not certain yet.
[08:18] Gregor
    As you're aware,
     by entering the service of a Demon Lord,
[08:22] Gregor
    demons are granted power
     far beyond what they'd have naturally.
[08:27] Gregor
    And not all of them are of the devil race.
[08:30] Dale
    As I said.
     Doesn't matter, if that's the job.
[08:34] Gregor
    I'll be accompanying you.
[08:35] Dale
    Seems that the young master
    still likes to play rough, huh?
[08:38] Gregor
    Instead of drawing on any noble status,
[08:40] Gregor
    I've chosen to rely on this
    to establish myself in life.
[08:47] Gregor
    My mother was a foreigner,
     and not the first wife of the duke.
[08:50] Gregor
    I let my older brothers worry
     about our house,
[08:53] Gregor
    and instead, I deal with things freely,
    which generally works for the best.
[08:56] Dale
    Well, having you around will be a relief.
[08:59] Gregor
    Do try and show some manners
    around Father, at least.
[09:03] Dale
    I know.
[09:06] Duke
    The rationale behind sending a small, elite force
     to deal with the Demon Lord's minions...
[09:12] Duke
    is that a coordinated martial action
     on behalf of the nation
[09:15] Duke
    may be seen by the Demon Lord
     as a declaration of war.
[09:19] Duke
    In order to minimize that risk
    while still disposing of the threat,
[09:24] Duke
    an ambush by a small, irregular force
     should be effective.
[09:29] Duke
    I'll be awaiting news of your success.
[09:32] Dale
    An assassination, in other words.
[09:35] Dale
    Same as it ever was.
[09:44] Gregor
    According to the scouts,
[09:46] ---
    the target is located
     on the other side of the mountain.
[09:49] Adventurers
    The other side, huh...
[09:51] Adventurers
    That'd be a piece of cake
    with a flying dragon, but...
[09:54] Adventurers
    If we wanted them to see us coming, maybe.
[09:56] Gregor
    This is going to take a few days.
[09:59] Dale
    Not enough...
[10:00] Gregor
    This is all what we expected.
[10:02] Gregor
    There's plenty of suppl—
[10:04] Dale
    Not enough! Not enough Latina!
[10:06] Gregor
    Not enough what now?
[10:09] Dale
    Not enough Latina!
[10:11] Dale
    I need more, right now!
[10:15] Dale
    Latina—!
[10:18] Gregor
    Seriously, what the hell happened to you?
[10:34] Ken
    It's a shepherd's pie.
[10:36] ---
    I'll give you a discount
     on your bill, so eat it.
[10:38] Customers
    I guess you're pushing orders
     on people now, then?
[10:41] Customers
    And it looks kind of rough.
[10:43] Ken
    Well, it's practice.
[10:45] Customer
    Practice?
[10:51] Customer
    For the little miss?
[10:52] Ken
    That's right.
     It's a pie Latina made for practice.
[10:56] Customer
    All right. Just leave it here.
[10:59] Ken
    You sold one!
[11:01] Latina
    Was it okay?
[11:02] Ken
    You can ask them yourself.
[11:17] Ken
    Let me know once it looks baked, okay?
[11:26] Ken
    Hey, Rita. You're back.
[11:28] Rita
    You certainly found a nice apprentice.
[11:30] Ken
    Nah... She just looked so lonely, y'know?
[11:36] (Flashback) Ken
    Dale's going to come back.
[11:39] (Flashback) ---
    He knows you're waiting for him.
[11:42] (Flashback) Ken
    He always lets you know
    when he's home, right?
[11:45] (Flashback) Ken
    That proves it.
[11:47] (Flashback) Latina
    He does let me know.
[11:51] (Flashback) Dale
    He didn't do that
     before you showed up, though.
[11:54] (Flashback) Latina
    He didn't?
[11:56] (Flashback) Ken
    You're special to him.
[11:59] (Flashback) Latina
    I'm special to Dale?
[12:01] (Flashback) Ken
    Yep, that's right.
[12:05] (Flashback) Latina
    Is it okay for me to stay with Dale?
[12:10] (Flashback) Ken
    If you were gone, he'd probably make
     a huge fuss like last time!
[12:15] (Flashback) Latina
    They chased me away from where I was born.
[12:19] (Flashback) ---
    They said I was bad.
[12:22] (Flashback) Latina
    Rag... died because he stayed with me.
[12:27] (Flashback) Ken
    Who's Rag?
[12:29] (Flashback) Latina
    Latina's male parent.
[12:32] (Flashback) Latina
    My family were the only ones
    who said I wasn't bad.
[12:42] (Flashback) Latina
    But Rag died, so I wondered
    if I was bad after all.
[12:50] (Flashback) Latina
    Dale says I'm a good girl.
[12:53] (Flashback) ---
    He stays with me,
     even though we're not family.
[12:56] (Flashback) Latina
    Dale was the first one do that.
[12:59] (Flashback) Latina
    He's special to me.
[13:03] (Flashback) Ken
    Have you ever told him this?
[13:06] (Flashback) Latina
    If he finds out I'm bad, he might hate me.
[13:12] (Flashback) Latina
    I'm scared... of Dale hating me.
[13:17] (Flashback) Ken
    I see.
[13:26] (Flashback) Ken
    Hey, Latina.
[13:28] (Flashback) ---
    You wanna practice something
    while Dale's gone?
[13:32] (Flashback) Latina
    Practice?
[13:33] (Flashback) Ken
    If you could cook for him,
    he'd be surprised and happy.
[13:37] (Flashback) Latina
    I want to!
[13:40] (Flashback) Latina
    Teach me, Kenneth! Please!
[13:45] Ken
    And it was just the cutest thing you ever saw!
[13:48] Rita
    She's ruined another one.
[13:53] Rita
    A guardian and his child...
[13:55] Rita
    And both of them as your apprentices.
[13:59] Ken
    That guy is not my apprentice!
[14:01] Ken
    All I did was teach him
    what he needed to know.
[14:04] Ken
    On the other hand, I think Latina
    might be worth the investment.
[14:08] Ken
    She's got a real knack.
[14:16] Rita
    Oh... Latina, your friend's here.
[14:19] Latina
    Friend?
[14:22] Chloe
    Thank you!
[14:23] Rita
    Enjoy yourself.
[14:26] Latina
    Chloe, are we friends?
[14:28] Chloe
    What brought that on?
[14:30] Latina
    I never had a friend before.
[14:33] Chloe
    Well, a friend is like... Let's see.
[14:37] Chloe
    Someone around your age who plays
    and talks with you, I guess?
[14:42] Latina
    I've only ever been around
    family and grown-ups.
[14:46] Chloe
    I get it. You were never really
    around people your own age.
[14:50] Chloe
    Well, that explains it.
[14:52] Chloe
    Wait, speaking of age!
[14:54] Chloe
    The reason I came to see you
     is to ask about school.
[14:59] Latina
    School?
[15:01] Chloe
    We go there every year, in the fall.
[15:03] Chloe
    Rudy, Marcel, and me.
[15:06] Chloe
    You're the same age as us,
     so I was wondering if you'd go.
[15:10] Rita
    Wait, how old are you, Latina?
[15:14] Latina
    Seven. Almost eight.
[15:17] Rita
    Really? I thought for sure
    you were around five.
[15:21] Rita
    I wonder whether Dale knows.
[15:23] Latina
    He never asked.
[15:24] Chloe
    Will Latina be going to school?
[15:27] Rita
    Probably?
[15:29] Rita
    No. I'm pretty sure that's what'll happen.
[15:32] Chloe
    That's great!
[15:35] Chloe
    I'm so glad we'll be able
    to go to school together!
[15:39] Latina
    If you're happy, so am I!
[15:43] Chloe
    This will be great!
[15:44] Latina
    Yeah!
[15:45] Rita
    I'd better have Dale enroll her
     as soon as he gets back.
[15:51] Adventurers
    It's gotten a lot hotter.
[15:53] Gregor
    The ground itself is hot here,
    thanks to Ahmar's blessing.
[15:59] Gregor
    Which attracts dragons
    during their mating season.
[16:07] Gregor
    Those dragons definitely belong
    to the Seventh Demon Lord.
[16:11] Dale
    Yeah. No doubt.
[16:14] Dale
    That woman's a demon.
[16:21] Dale
    Kunil luodov tiera...

[16:25] Dale

    Tuse tolp!
[17:13] Demon
    Rurik! Rurik!
[17:40] Gregor
    That's that.
[17:41] Dale
    Yeah.
[17:46] Rita
    Here are your drinks.
[17:48] Customers
    Can I get a shepherd's pie?
[17:49] Customers
    Same here for me!
[17:51] Rita
    It'll take a while. Is that all right?
[17:53] Customers
    Yeah, of course!
     I'll wait as long as it takes.
[17:57] Customers
    That's what we came here for today.
[17:59] Rita
    Two shepherd's pies, coming up.
[18:03] Customer
    Uh, Rita, you're not gonna be serving
     them up, are you...?
[18:08] Rita
    Relax.
[18:10] Rita
    She's been taking them out herself,
[18:12] ---
    because she wants
     to see the people who order them.
[18:15] Latina
    Here you are.
[18:17] Latina
    It's hot, so please be careful!
[18:20] Customer
    Missy, you've really got this down!
[18:23] Latina
    Thank you, Mr. Amos!
[18:26] Latina
    Please, enjoy!
[18:30] Customer
    That's what we're really here for, right?
[18:31] Customer
    Yeah. It's as if it heals you, somehow.
[18:34] Customer
    Might as well chow down.
[18:38] Sly
    She's even got a bunch of brutes who never deal
     with kids wrapped around her finger.
[18:43] Latina
    Excuse me.
[18:44] Sly
    That was the best shepherd's pie
     I ever had, missy.
[18:48] Latina
    Really?!
[18:49] Sly
    Yeah!
[18:51] Latina
    Thank you, Mr. Jil!
[18:55] Sly
    That might just be the little gal's gift.
[19:02] Dale
    I can finally get out of here!
[19:04] Dale
    Get me a flying dragon ready, right now!
[19:06] Dale
    Latina's waiting for me!
[19:09] Gregor
    Do you realize you're still on the clock
     until you've attended tonight's dinner banquet?
[19:12] Dale
    Don't wanna! Wanna go home!
[19:18] Gregor
    Don't you have to select the souvenir
     from what you had the maids prepare, anyway?
[19:22] Gregor
    Isn't the whole point
     that you pick out whatever gift you give?
[19:26] Dale
    Good point.
[19:28] Dale
    I wonder whether Latina will like it.
[19:31] Gregor
    I'm sorry, Dale. But I've given
    up here... in a few different ways.
[19:44] Dale
    Latina!
[19:46] Dale
    Latina?! Latina! Latina—!
[19:52] Rita
    First thing out of your mouth, huh?
[19:54] Dale
    Oh, it's just you Rita. Where's Latina?!
[19:57] Rita
    She's with Kenneth, okay?
[20:02] Latina
    Dale!
[20:03] Dale
    Latina!
[20:06] Latina
    Welcome home!
[20:09] Dale
    I'm back, Latina!
[20:11] Dale
    You took good care of the place
     while I was gone!
[20:13] Dale
    Did you miss me?
     I'm so sorry! I missed you so much!
[20:17] Latina
    I missed you.
[20:19] Latina
    But I'm glad that you came back okay!
[20:23] Latina
    Welcome home!
[20:26] Dale
    She really is my source of healing.
[20:31] Dale
    I worked hard.
[20:33] Rita
    He's gotten worse.
[20:34] Dale
    Oh yeah, Latina, I have a present for you.
[20:37] Latina
    Wait a second, Dale!
[20:42] Dale
    Was two weeks too long?
[20:46] Dale
    Maybe if I eradicate all demons,
[20:50] Dale
    I'll be able to stick close to Latina.
[20:54] Rita
    You must be really exhausted.
[20:57] Rita
    She was really brave
     while you were gone, you know.
[21:00] Rita
    I thought she might be lonely in the attic,
[21:04] Rita
    so I asked whether she wanted to sleep
     in our room until you got back, but...
[21:09] (Flashback) Latina
    I'll stay in Dale's room.
[21:12] (Flashback) Latina
    It feels safe, because it smells like him.
[21:16] Rita
    She said.
[21:17] Dale
    How...?!
[21:19] Dale
    How is she so good?!
[21:22] Dale
    So, she was fine?! Nothing happened?!
[21:25] Rita
    Well, she did miss you.
[21:28] Rita
    But once she had something to focus on,
     she seemed to be doing better.
[21:33] Dale
    Focus?
[21:47] Latina
    Dale, I made this.
[21:50] Latina
    I wanted you to eat it. I worked hard!
[21:52] Dale
    Y-You made this?
[21:55] Latina
    I tried hard!
[21:57] Dale
    You... You made this.... yourself?
[22:01] Dale
    F-For me?!
[22:04] Dale
    I'm too touched to bring myself to eat it!
[22:08] Rita
    No, just eat it.
